Civic SI Brakes anyone have them replaced yet?

***fiji06si13*** · 05-08-2008, 10:45 PM

How many miles did anyone put on thier Si before it needed brakes?

I have a 2006 civic Si My front brakes are almost toast...
Almost 30k on car and time for upgrade...
Anyone using HFP brakes/rotors?

Any other suggestion's on after market rotors and pads?

yeah I had to cut mine twice they kept warping do alot of stop and go driving so I killed the brakes.......

30 k huh, ive toasted rotors and pads on my other cars in 5-10k miles...LOL.....not anymore that was when I was younger, I saw the HFP brake it on one Civic at the dealer, it looked slick but IMO just get some nice Brembo blanks and pads. On my last Civic i ran Spoon calipers, ATE fluid, Brembo blanks with hawk pads and it stopped on a dime!

by brembo blanks you mean OEM look right?

Yah, there just direct replacement rotors, I honestly just used to buy new ones cause they were so cheap from sponsors on Honda-tech always. There just plain OEM looking rotors! Honestly you can also just use Autozone blanks also, nothing wrong with that either!!

True but I am hard on my brakes....I think I will try HFP but just looking anyonther suggestions before i do so.....

HFP too expensive.. Your better off with the drill/slotted after market one.

***ryryninja*** · 05-09-2008, 12:49 AM

wow...

about 75k replaced front and rear pads. Only had the front rotors resurfaced. The rears were left untouched.

nayilsi · 05-09-2008, 01:01 AM

wow!!!!

33.8k here...and nothing got replaced other than air filter....

still on stock tires.

2000civic · 05-09-2008, 02:24 AM

Yup 19K here and Im all good. When I have to replace them I think I will just pick up some HFP pads if the price is right.

Are rotors replaceable under warranty?

Ct_Sidan07 · 05-09-2008, 12:55 PM
